The Owner reserves the right to reject the CMAR's proposal for a change in the Work and to elect <br />to perform said Work using a separate Subcontractor. Under such circumstances, the CMAR shall <br />coordinate the performance of the Work. <br /> <br />32.18. If the Owner requests a change order and the CMAR’s terms are unacceptable, the Owner may <br />require the CMAR to perform such Work on a time and material basis. If the Owner elects to have <br />the change in the Work performed on a time and material basis, the CMAR shall submit to the <br />Owner daily time and material tickets, to include the identification number assigned to the change <br />in the Work, the location and description of the change in the Work, the classification of labor <br />employed (and names and social security numbers), the materials used, the equipment rented (not <br />tools) and such other evidence of cost as the Owner may require. The Ow ner may require <br />authentication of all time and material tickets and invoices by persons designated by the Owner for <br />such purpose. The failure of the CMAR to secure any required authentication shall constitute a <br />waiver by the CMAR of any claim for the cost of that portion of the change in the Work covered by <br />a non-authenticated ticket or invoice. <br /> <br />32.19. In the event that the parties are unable to agree as to the reasonable cost and time to perform the <br />change in or addition to the Work based upon the CMAR's proposal and the Owner does not elect <br />to have the change in the Work performed on a time and material basis, Owner has the right to <br />direct in writing that the CMAR perform the change in the Work. Failure of the parties to reach <br />agreement regarding the cost and time of the performing the change in the Work regardless of any <br />pending protest, shall not relieve the CMAR from performing the change in the Work promptly and <br />expeditiously. <br /> <br />32.20. At the time of signing a change order, the CMAR shall be required to certify as follows: “I certify <br />that my bonding company will be notified forthwith that my contract has been changed by the <br />amount of this change order, and that a copy of the approved change order will be mailed upon <br />receipt by me to my surety.” <br /> <br />32.21. A change order, when issued, shall be full compensation, or credit, for the Work included, omitted <br />or substituted. It shall show on its face the adjustment in time for completion of the Project as a <br />result of the change in the Work. <br /> <br />32.22. No changes will invalidate, relieve or release the CMAR from any guarantee given by him <br />pertinent to the contract provisions. No changes will affect the validity of the performance bond or <br />relieve the surety on said bond. <br /> <br />32.23. In the event of emergency endangering life or property, the CMAR and the Subcontractors may be <br />directed to proceed on a time and material basis by the Owner’s Representative whereupon the <br />CMAR shall proceed and keep accurately on such form as may be required, a correct account of <br />costs together with all proper invoices, payrolls and supporting data. Upon completion of the Work <br />the change order will be prepared and settled as outlined herein. <br /> <br />33. CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COST <br /> <br />33.1.
